Long-term commitment
Long-term ways to support our work include sharing a portion of the proceeds from the sale of certain products, making a fixed annual donation, or donating on regular occasions such as anniversaries, Christmas, or company parties. There are numerous ways to organize such fundraising campaigns—if you’d like, we’d be happy to support you with custom-designed communication materials such as donation boxes, posters, flyers, thank-you letters, or newsletters.
Make a one-time donation
With your one-time donation, you can improve the living conditions of children and families. You decide how you’d like your donation to be used—whether to support a specific project or cause, or to help where the funds are needed most.
We would be happy to discuss in person which type of donation makes the most sense for your company. We look forward to hearing from you and working with you to make a difference. We are always happy to provide you with a no-obligation consultation regarding our partnership opportunities.
Häufig gefragt
What does ChildFund Deutschland stand for, and what is the goal of its work?
Our goal is to bring about lasting improvements in the future prospects of children in need, their families, and their entire communities. Through our commitment to these children and families, we aim to make a positive difference and create lasting improvements, always guided by the principle of helping people help themselves. This enables them to exercise their rights, overcome poverty and dependency, and lead independent and self-determined lives.
How can I be sure that my donation actually reaches its destination?
The efficient use of the donations entrusted to us is our top priority. To ensure that our aid is used in a highly targeted manner, we rely on close collaboration with local partner organizations in all the countries where we operate, so that our assistance meets the specific needs on the ground. Furthermore, all our support is guided by the principle of helping people help themselves. This ensures that the people in our projects benefit from long-term and lasting changes and, in the long run, no longer depend on aid but can live independently and self-determinedly. Our transparent and responsible handling of donations is also confirmed by the DZI Donation Seal, which we have been awarded continuously since 1995 by the German Central Institute for Social Issues.
How does ChildFund Deutschland work?
Our work is made possible by three sources of funding: sponsorships, other donations, and public funds. Our projects funded by sponsorships are designed for the long term. They are characterized by particularly close collaboration between our partner organizations in the respective project country and the local communities.
The donation-based and publicly funded projects have a shorter duration. Due to the limited timeframe, these projects require more intensive planning and support on our part.
In all projects, ChildFund plays two specific roles: First, raising funds so that the project work can be implemented at all. And second, bringing together and building bridges between those who provide money and expertise and those who lack these resources. The goal is to maximize mutual benefit from the collaboration and to advance our projects in the most effective way possible.
